Cloud Vendor Spotlight: SimplySo, Filtered, and Cloudworks

You may not be fully aware, but Westcoast don’t just sell Microsoft products through CSP – there’s also a huge range of attached services that you can offer to your customers. These services act as complements to Microsoft products and show your customers that you can provide extra value to a transaction.

We’ve covered three of these below, and we’ll be looking at more in the coming weeks. As always, if you need more information about any of these services, just contact the Cloud Team on 0333 033 1701 or by emailing Cloud@westcoast.co.uk

SimplySo

SimplySo is add-on software for Office 365 that enhances the
experience of SharePoint, while also making it easier to use. The software
works as an overlay for SharePoint, to make it easier to access shared
documents. It works both through traditional desktops as well as mobile
devices. With SimplySo you can also customise the layout of SharePoint. It also
enhances the social side of SharePoint, improving the process of sharing
photos, posting comments, and collaborating with work groups (Team Sites).

Filtered

How Filtered provides bespoke training

Filtered is an online training platform, which provides bespoke
learning material based on the requirements of the user. The software will ask
users questions around their aspirations and proficiency levels, and uses a
unique algorithm to display training courses that are directly relevant to each
user. Training is available on individual Microsoft applications such as
PowerPoint and Excel, though there is also a whole Microsoft bundle available
that includes all of the major Office apps. There are currently 800,000 users
of Filtered worldwide, and this number is only going to grow as time goes by.

Cloudworks

Cloudworks are specialist migration consultants that work
on-site with customers to implement cloud solutions, whether through migration
support, training, or advice on developing or progressing a cloud strategy.
They have a track record of working successfully with large corporate companies
such as Arcadia, and you can be sure that they have the skills to go with this
experience.

Keep an eye out for future blog posts, where we’ll be taking
a look at even more cloud services.
